Recently, Mundo Deportivo reported that Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have joined Juventus in the race to sign Atalanta’s Ederson. Now, another Premier League club is getting involved.
The Spanish outlet claims Atalanta has set a firm €60 million price tag for the midfielder, showing no intention of lowering their demands.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg revealed this month that Manchester United are in discussions about signing Ederson, who is highly regarded by the club.
United aim to bolster their midfield options and could make a move for him in the winter transfer window.
What’s the latest on Ederson ahead of the January window?
According to TEAMtalk, Ederson is open to the idea of a Premier League move, but Atalanta would only consider selling the midfielder in January if they receive a massive offer.
The report highlights that while Ederson once seemed likely to leave the club, he has transformed under Gian Piero Gasperini from a player facing doubts to a key figure in the team.
It’s also noted that Gasperini and Atalanta have agreed not to part with important players mid-season, including Ederson and winger Ademola Lookman.
This season, the Brazilian has played in all 18 matches across various competitions, contributing two goals and an assist.
